So sorry guys, I use that one a lot in my texts to a really good friend of mine and have started using it on forums, sorry wont do it again. On mums net there is A HUGE list of them which you are encouraged to use, it can get pretty annoying TBH.


Doesn't worry me, tbh - I thought it was funny ;D

Sorry, angelica - maybe I was a bit grumpy... We do use a few abbreviations, although we actually have rules against it. I've been thinking about this lately - isn't it strange how we somehow accept to conform to a standardized way of expressing ourselves, instead of finding our own words for our emotions? It saves time, I guess. But I'm not sure it does any favours for our understanding or communication skills... Hmmm... Philosophical moment over. LOL! ;D

It probably depends on how recent the abbreviation is and therefore whether those of us who have persuaded the kids to live elsewhere have come across it. Technically of course TARDIS is an abbreviation. And I believe we use LoM for something ;D And we use the icons to express our feelings in a way that everyone can understand - a row of Mr Thuddy is far simpler to use than trying to explain great enthusiasm when rendered a puddle of guh.
